For anyone out there that's looked for a simple HTML forms solution but has yet to find a nice, concise package that will work, you might want to consider the PEAR HTML_QuickForm package. And, in an effort to help you get started with them, DevArticles has two new postings to get you familiar - Using HTML_QuickForm To Manage Web Forms: Part 1 and Part 2.

The first part of the series introduces you to the PEAR package and shows you the basics like installation, creating your "first form", adding elements such as inputs and checkboxes, as well as some simple processing with the results of a POST.

In Part 2 of the series, they build on the simple knowledge that was laid in the first article and show you how to get a bit more complex - hierarchical drop-downs, auto-complete text boxes, and making your form look as good as it functions.

Both of these articles provide one of the better overviews that I've seen on the HTML_QuickForm package. While I'm not one to really use much that is in PEAR, after glancing over these two articles, I might just have to check it out for future sites...
